Your pet’s name won’t get you into your email anymore. Here’s how you’ll protect your data online in the future.

［1］Are passwords passé? It’s starting to seem like it. Everybody hates them, and nobody can remember all the ones they’ve created. These days a typical netizen has dozens of online accounts. If you really want to be safe, you need to have a different password for each one, and each password needs to be incredibly complicated, with a mix of capital letters, symbols, and numbers. Who can keep all that stuff in their head?
编者注：1passé：过时的。读完前三句，可以判断是负面形容词。
2netizen：网民。联想市民citizen记忆词义。
3incredibly：难以置信的。从单词外观和句子成分判断是副词，可跳过，不影响阅读大意。
4complicated：复杂的。有with一句补充说明，词意可推测，与大纲词汇complex同义。
［2］Most people don’t bother. Some just make up one password and use it everywhere. Others might have a few passwords — one for all their banking and financial stuff, one for their social networks, one for email. Problem is that if one site gets hacked, the bad guys now have the password that you use elsewhere. These hacks are happening so frequently these days that you might as well assume there is no way to keep a password secret. In one recent attack on Sony, millions of accounts were exposed.
编者注：1financial：形容词，联系大纲词汇finance记忆。
2hack：hacker黑客。本段中hack有作名词、动词时的用法。还有末尾attack一词同义替换。
［3］Computer scientists realize the system is broken, and they’re looking for alternatives. But most attempts haven’t been very good. Fingerprint readers require special hardware, and a lot of people find them creepy and don’t want to use them. Smart cards and tokens can be lost or stolen. “We’ve tried all sorts of other approaches, but we end up back with passwords. They’re the least worst in a series of bad options,” says Rich Mogull, CEO of Securosis, a security consultancy.
编者注：这一段的中心意思，就是But开头的这句，科学家现有的尝试都还不尽如人意。阅读文章时注意but（转折）这个词，它后面往往接的是作者观点或真实情况等。
［4］Markus Jakobsson, a veteran security researcher with a Ph.d. in computer science, has come up with something he calls “fastwords.” Instead of inventing a gobbledygook password, you join three simple words that come from a thought known only to you. If one day you were driving to work and ran over a frog that ended up flat, you might choose “frog work flat.”
［5］Some advantages: You can enter the three words in any order （“flat frog work”）, and the system still knows that you’re you. If you totally blank, the fastword system will tell you one of the three words, which should enable you to remember the original thought and thus the three keywords. Jakobsson says one large service provider is evaluating the fastwords concept.
［6］Fastwords represents a step in the right direction, but it’s not the promised land. Someone, somehow, needs to come up with something radically different — and radically better — than what we have today.
编者注：这段背记下来最好，可以套用在写作中，观点鲜明，语言又地道。
文章标题和开头第一句作者都表明对网络帐号密码的态度（过时了）；第二段指出现有密码技术的安全问题；第三段写科学家的探索，指出现有的各种技术都有各自的缺点；第四段引出新技术，简单介绍；第五段分析新技术的优点；第六段态度鲜明：此项新技术尝试解决现有网络帐号管理及安全问题是值得肯定的，但是还有进一步研究的必要。
学习语言，平时的积累很重要，精读文章时，不但要完全弄懂文章意思，也要把其中的单词用法，短语，句子分类总结记忆。丰富词汇、句式，应用到作文中去增加“亮点”。听力、口语中也用得上，一举多得。
1. 提出观点，可以用设问句。e.g. Are passwords passé? It’s starting to seem like it. 其实完全可以说Passwords are passé. 但是不是感觉立马平庸了许多，而且，词数少了。
2. create a password = invent a password = make up a password
“设置密码”这一个意思，文章用了三种表达方式。所以，自己写作文的时候也要这样，同义替换会使文章不那么单薄，至少从卷面上会让老师感觉作者词汇丰富。
3. password for the online account，注意介词for，帐号用account。网络帐号（的）密码。
4. remember the password = keep the password in mind记住密码，又是同义替换。
